The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Philippine Postal Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to retrofit and restore the Manila Central Post Office, which was damaged in a 2023 fire.
Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon has promised to prioritize Phase 1 of the restoration project, focusing on the renovation of the building’s historic façade.
He said the restoration aims to preserve the historical value of the landmark, in collaboration with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has ordered the DPWH to lead the rehabilitation of the Manila Central Post Office, a significant and iconic landmark in Metro Manila.
“We promise to you, we will do this as fast as possible,” Dizon said, adding that the project will ensure the correct and swift restoration of the country’s most iconic heritage structures.
